Authorities are probing a deadly shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin. A 15-year-old female student opened fire on Monday at the school, killing two people including a teacher, and injuring six others. She was pronounced dead with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The shooting started at about 10:57 a.m. during a study hall period as a second-grade student placed the first of two 911 calls. Police officers arrived within minutes, rushing inside the school to secure the building. Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes confirmed that the shooter was a student at the school and that she had been named Natalie Rupnow.

Witnesses reported chaotic moments as students and staff scrambled for safety. Authorities also searched Rupnow’s home later in the day, though details about her motives remain unclear. The suspect’s family has been cooperating with the investigation.

We pray every morning that this won’t happen,” Bethany Highman, whose daughter goes to the school, added. Another parent, Mireille Jean-Charles said it’s much to share about the emotional trauma that experience had: “My kids are safe, but I don’t think they’ll be okay for a long time.

This is the second school shooting in the Madison area within seven months. Questions have been raised about local schools’ safety measures. President Joe Biden released a statement calling for immediate action on gun control measures.

It was now the turn of the closely knit community at Abundant Life Christian School, which educates 420 students, to reel in its devastating loss. Officials announced counseling services and have yet to confirm when classes would resume.
